Answer 1

We have a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

The quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

When we have a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, opposite angles are supplementary.

Then, we can write:

`\begin{gathered} m\angle C+m\angle B=180\degree \\ 4x+(4x+11)=180 \\ 8x=180-11 \\ 8x=169 \\ x=(169)/(8) \\ x=21.125 \\ x\approx21.1 \end{gathered}`

Answer: x = 21.1
